From Wikipedia: "Black Hebrew Israelites (also called Black Hebrews, African Hebrew Israelites, and Hebrew Israelites) are groups of African Americans who believe that they are descendants of the ancient Israelites. Black Hebrews adhere in varying degrees to the religious beliefs and practices of both Christianity and Judaism. They are not recognized as Jews by the greater Jewish community. Many choose to identify themselves as Hebrew Israelites or Black Hebrews rather than Jews in order to indicate their claimed historic connections"

I visited this cong. several years ago and met an elderly woman who spoke to me. in fluent hebrew and her grandchildren were wearing tzitz .She told me in hebrew,that she buys meat in the east side.I never did get to see the inside of the syn. The neighborhood was heavily jewish in the 1890s till 1930s and there were synagogues on almost every street. many of those buildings still survive as churches today
